AI 2041: Ten Visions for the Future

　　AI時代已經開啟。在我們面前，機遇與挑戰並存。
　　如AI與人性特質如何共存等諸多課題，都需要深入探索和思考。──李開復

　　想要創造什麼樣的未來，就從想像那樣的未來開始。──陳楸帆

　　．AI能否幫助人類從根源上預防疫情？
　　．如何應對未來的職場挑戰？
　　．在AI主導的世界中如何確保文化多樣性？
　　．如何教導下一代適應人類與AI共存的新社會？
　　．面對AI帶來的社會問題所隱含的人性拉鋸戰，我們如何抉擇？

　　AI能創造前所未有的財富與價值，能徹底改變醫學和教育，能提升人類的工作、娛樂和交流的品質，能把人類從日常工作中解放出來。

　　不過，AI也會帶來無數挑戰和風險，例如演算法偏見、安全隱患、深度偽造、對隱私資料的侵犯、對自主武器的使用，以及取代人類員工等。不過，這些情況並非AI主導造成的，其根源在於惡意或草率使用AI技術的幕後黑手。

　　全球AI領軍人物李開復最關切的是，AI正飛速發展，人類的未來將通往何方？他放眼20年後的新世界，架構10幅「技術藍圖」，再由科幻小說家陳楸帆據此構思10個故事。虛構的敘事與非虛構的科技評論完美結合，展現20年後被AI 技術深刻改變的未來世界。

　　歡迎來到2041！

Long before the advent of ChatGPT, Kai-Fu Lee and Chen Qiufan understood the enormous potential of artificial intelligence to transform our daily lives.

In this ＂inspired collaboration＂ (The Wall Street Journal), Lee and Chen join forces to imagine our world in 2041 and how it will be shaped by AI. In ten gripping, globe-spanning short stories and accompanying commentary, their book introduces readers to an array of eye-opening settings and characters grappling with the new abundance and potential harms of AI technologies like deep learning, mixed reality, robotics, artificial general intelligence, and autonomous weapons.
